This car is a pleasure to drive on the open road or in town. Bad weather is no problem. This is my third Outback and they get better each time. Very good trade in value. Very little maintenance cost. Subaru gets it right.…

This car so far is extraordinary. At only 300 miles in, so understandably give me a bit of an allowance, Im finding it very exciting to drive. I leave work early to go joy-riding (Im a 47 year-old-man... so...). We just had crazy March Miracle rains here in So Cal, and it was so fun to drive in the rain. I have the 3.6 Limited. Love the torque and horsepower as it blends w the transmission. Im coming from 3-in-a-row Lexus RX350s. The new Lexus grill I found unacceptable, so I switched. Took a chance on the outback and so glad I did. Nice inside, safety a consideration (young child), handling, power, practicality.. its all exceptional. My wife has an Audi Q5 w the big engine. The Outback obviously doesnt handle match that sort of performance handling but, I just love it. Hope this helps... S…

When our Honda CRV was totaled by an idiot in a pick up truck, we started shopping around. We examined all the other alternatives from Ford, GM, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, but it was when the Outback was taken for a test drive it IMMEDIATLY set itself apart from its competitors! Road noise, minimal; interior comfort, OUTSTANDING; road handling, a dream; electronics, mind-blowing array including safety systems; ALSO, and you cannot find this on ANY 2019 SUV in it's class, a CD PLAYER in addition to the satellite and broadcast radio! Yep, a physical real CD player, which means we don't have to put all our music on USB sticks! Ours is the 4 cylinder model, but even still, when you kick down on the accelerator (not the paddle switch on the steering wheel) it can deliver some very impressive acceleration! The back is absolutely cavernous compared to its competition, even before you put the rear seats in a down position! The array of controls available on the steering wheel is impressive to say the least, and will take a bit of learning to get fully comfortable with.
When you consider ALL of the standard features, including safety features, that are extra on most of its competition, together with how the vehicle itself performs, this really is a no brainer! Detroit has a LOT of catching up to do, & mainstream Japan automakers, while maybe having the same technology, don't even come close to this level of appointments as standard at this price point!…
